- What Are Permanent Retainers And How Do They Work?
You may have heard permanent retainers go by a few different names; bonded retainers or fixed retainers are also commonly used phrases for this type of retainer. A permanent or fixed retainer is a thin piece of metal wire that is attached to the back of your teeth. Permanent retainers are not visible when you smile, although you will be able to feel the wire on the back side of your teeth. When you choose fixed retainers, your dentist will bond your retainer to the back of your teeth using a composite material that is set in place with a special curing light. Permanent retainers can only be removed by a professional dentist. Even after your braces come off, your teeth will naturally shift and move which is why wearing a retainer is so important for people who have worn braces. Proper retainer wear not only prevents your teeth from shifting, but also helps with preventing gaps and even crowding.
------ Pros & cons of permanent retainers
Permanent retainers may not be for everyone, so it’s important to be well informed about the pros and cons before making a decision. You should always consult with your dentist before making any final decisions. One of the best pros about choosing permanent retainers is that you don’t have to worry about forgetting to wear them. Since they’re bonded to your teeth, you can carry on your daily routine without worrying about forgetting to wear your retainer. Since permanent retainers are bonded to the back of your teeth, you also don’t have to worry about having visible metal wires in your mouth post orthodontic appliance removal. Permanent braces also tend to be more comfortable than a traditional removable retainer due to their design. While permanent retainers can be more comfortable, they can also pose a challenge when it comes to dental hygiene. Because the wire is cemented to the back of your teeth, food can become trapped in the wire and can make cleaning teeth challenging for both yourself and dental professionals. Regular brushing and flossing are crucial in maintaining permanent retainers. Permanent retainers are also typically only reserved for the front of your teeth, so they cannot help with maintaining alignment of your side or back teeth.
If you have questions about which kind of retainer is right for you, call the professionals at Orthodontic Specialists of White Plains today.

This is so annoying and uncomfortable for my tongue
When I went to get more glue put on my retainer, I think the dentist put one side higher than the other. Because now my lower bite is crooked. I tried to tell him but he denied he did anything wrong. I can see where one end is glued higher on the teeth than the other end. I'm going back to complain again.
So sorry to hear that my friend... sometimes with time your bite get's ride off the excess if it's not to much.... but for sure If its uncomfortable you should go a get that fixed! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
Wearing a permanent retainer wont push our teeth forward since any how it is something extra pressure?
And which retainer do you suggest, I am really afraid of permanent reatiner.
Do fixed and removable reatiners has the same effect?
I just got permanent retainers on both the top and bottom teeth, and I’m really happy with them. This was my second round with braces. The first time, I had braces for almost 3 years and got them off in 2017. Unfortunately, my dentist didn’t stress how important retainers were, so I didn’t take them seriously and stopped wearing them. My teeth started shifting, and I ended up with gaps. I got braces again in October 2022, and now, after 1 year and 7 months, I’m finally getting them off next week. This time, I’m super conscious about wearing my retainers. I got the permanent ones, but even if I had the plastic transparent retainers, there's no way I’d neglect wearing them. I’ll probably wear them for the rest of my life because I don’t want to mess up my teeth again! 😂

I’m terrified of a retainer after I get braces, how long do you have to wear it to stop your teeth from shifting back?
Hi Melissa and don't be terrified! You wouldn't even notice it, the only thing is to keep a good hygiene and the answer to your question it would be the longer you wear it the better... meaning a couple of years ..... since your teeth without retention they are going to start shifting... maybe only a little bit but the possibility exist! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
So your front 6 teeth are the only ones on the bottom That could shift? What about the rest of the teeth on the bottom?
They can shift as well but basically those 6 teeth are keeping them on track! Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to give us a like and subscribe to our channel! That would help us a lot! 🦷🧡
Hello doctor! Can I ask my ortho to use etching behind my teeth instead of using a finishing bur to clean before placing the retainer?
….. at our practice we put fixed wires in upper arch all the time if needed as long as the lower teeth are out of occlusion, checked with articulating paper. Achievable over 90% of time. To say this can’t be done is lazy positioning. Also where is the primer before you put the bond on!!!!!
What is the best retainer for upper teeth?
Hi Oscar and the one that we recommend and give to our patients is the clear retainer! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
Today only my lower braces are removed…but at the end of the day my teeth had flared 😢before the braces my lower teeth were not flared….but after the braces my lower teeth flared 😢😢😢what to dooo nowwww😭😭😭😭I’m still conscious about my smile 😞

@@ToothTime yeah i got permanent retainers…
Awesome!
How long do we have to use fixed retainers ?
I’ve had one behind my upper incisors for about 6 years now, and the wire is bent, so I’m getting it replaced tomorrow morning.
I had a large gap between my two upper central incisors before braces, and now that my permanent retainer is bent, it’s no longer holding my teeth, and a small gap forms very shortly after removing my Hawley retainer. In my case, my orthodontist says i’ll always need it, otherwise, the gap will quickly reopen.
I can’t wait for my braces to be off

you'll never rid from braces, they'll put parmanent retainer on you forever
Hey, nice video and channel. On most of your patients do you lean them all the way back for all the appointments in the chair? If I did not want that, who do I ask and how?
Hi Owen Thank you very much for your kind comment! and most of the appointments specially if you are getting new rubber ties or whatsoever we need to lean back our patients, if you get to uncomfortable or kind of motion sickness to be like that you might want to explain to your dentist and you guys can work something out to make you feel more comfortable during your appointment! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
Hi Doctor. I will be removing braces in days. Any suggestions on what would be good for Upper teeth and lower teeth.

Hi! I just got my permanent retainer a few days ago and I realized that my bottom tooth is hitting the glue of my top retainer so I cant chew properly, is this something that my ortho can fix, or will it go away on its own?
well... it can go away by itself but probably if you continue chewing like this the retainer it's going to fall off.... so you have to go and get it check they are going to be happier to do that than put it back again! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
Even I'm facing the same problem today they removed my braces

I personally like permanent retainer, coz when you remove retainer while eating your teeth moves, it’s keeps happening whenever you wear and remove…
My teeth became front when my permanent retainer broke, I regret not getting it again when it was broken, now I have to get braces again
Same happened in my case
Toh bhtr h na teeth back hony ka pta hota nhi toh bhtr h fixed retai ers lga lo bnsa teerh bck roh ni ata or bura b nhi lgata bcz nzr ni ata andrxside sy lga teh retainer
I only have just a small gap above my two front teeth can I wear a permanent retainer or do I have to get braces because my teeth are straight it’s just a small gaps
Why do they need a permanent retainer? What is it for?
To keep your teeth straight
Hii doctor, kindly tell me which glue you are using to fix the retainer the glue got removed from my teeth. Please please tell me

Hi, I’ve had my fixed braces removed today, and I opted both for a fixed and removable retainer, however I have to wait 9 days for my fixed retainer and removable retainer, are the teeth likely to shift between now and 9 days?
prob not, i’ve gone a month without telling anyone i had a broken bracket when i had braces, my dentist didnt notice-
can you help me? :( i haven’t worn my retainers in months and my small overbite is coming back :( i just started to wear my retainers the other day and i have an appt this saturday, do permanent retainers stay on regardless ? like you can never take them off no matter how much you wear them?
Yea permanent retainers last over 20 years and they use a glue to bond it to ur teeth
Got my braces off today and they put two wires in my mouth top and bottom. I keep feeling the glue/bonding and its uncomfortable. Will this ever go away? Or will i just get used to it? I cant stop rolling my tongue on it.
I’m sure you have gotten use to it by now. But yes it can be very uncomfortable and irritating.
Can the permanent retainers stop my teeth from relapsing if I have tongue thrusting problem..
Not quite my friend if you still have the habit of thrusting your tongue the chances that your teeth relapse are really high even with the permanent retainers! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷

Hey I have a question I have the same retainers in the back of my bottom teeth but I had them since 2010 I still have them on now do you know if I have to take them off or I have to keep them on the rest of my life
Keep rest of life
Momento glorioso. A mi me falta mucho para ese momento. Ahora estoy con un niti 0.16x0.16 y se siente que se fueran a salir mis dientes.
Hola Jisrael y apenas empezaste entonces.. ese es uno de los alambres iniciales!! Sigue adelante con tu camino de brackets!! Gracias por ver nuestro canal!
What is difference between clear and permanent retainers plz Ans
Hi my friend and technically both do the same work of keeping your teeth and place and avoid shifting so the main difference is how you keep it in your mouth one is permanent and you can't take it out and the other one since you are putting in and out sometimes you might forget!
ive lost my retainer and im scared that im getting braces again ive lost it for 3 days and my teeth shifted a lil
Go get a new retainer asap if you don't want your teeth to shift even more! :( 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷

I have had a too 3 by 3 for years and it never popped off I also have a bottom one too
you mean you had a 3 by 3 upper and lower???? for years???
@@ToothTime yes since I was 13
I get my braces off in four months I can’t wait to get them off the person who removes my braces lets us take naps and use are phones
I have to admit I haven't been taking the best of care of my theeth now on the bottom permanent retainer theeth there is some brownish stains does that mean decay
Not necessarily. You'd have to go to the dentist
No, it’s most likely just the glue that’s stained. Mine is the same way after 6 years, and my dentist said it’s just the glue
I think I’ll get the Hawley retainer since it’s harder to lose it. Will my dentist let me choose that? (PD: I love your braces content!🥰)
Thank you Pedro!! and I believe your dentist can make that happen..... let's hope so! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
Literally just lost my bottom Hawley retainer
hi! i got my permanent retainers yesterday on the top and bottom. but i’ve noticed that since i have them, my molar teeth don’t touch properly. i also keep noticing the retainer in my mouth. is that normal? i thought i would barley notice the retainer but my tongue clearly hates them 😭. i still have my braces tho (i get them off tomorrow). could the braces be the reason why my molar teeth won’t touch? and will i eventually stop noticing my permanent retainers?
oh and also my bottom teeth keep hitting my top retainer. is there something wrong with my permanent retainers?
Hi Angelina... that is the main reason we don't use permanent retainer on top since the contact of the lower teeth on it.... so there is nothing wrong but the longevity of the retainer it's not going to be long enough... meaning in a couple of months after your treatment it's done the top retainer it might fall... I would recommend a clear removable retainer on top or even the classic the acrylic retainer with the metal wire.... and which retainer is the one you keep noticing??? please let me know if that helps of if you have any more questions....

The same thing happened to me. I went back to my orthodontist the day after and the only thing they did is remove a bit of the thick bond they had put. It didn’t help but I live so far away from their office that I accepted it. Bad idea! Now, 10 months later: my entire jaw is weak and tired because of my mouth not closing properly and one of my bottom teeth broke a small part from the repeated impacts against the upper retainer. I am getting the upper one removed as soon as possible.
@@Jenny-zd4ge, they did the same to me. they removed a bit i think. it took me some time to get used to it but now everything is fine so far. i’m sorry you’re having problems with the retainers. didn’t even know they could cause that! then it’s the best to take it out yeah.
have you ever got used to the retainers and did the problems just occur after the 10 months?? or have you never gotten used to them?
@@angelina-dh3re I got used to them by changing the way I closed my mouth (without realizing it). It went well at first but then I started getting more and more jaw tiredness and these days I noticed it a lot! I thought upper teeth fixed were compulsory but I’m watching all these videos and doctors’ advice and it seems like it’s normal to not have it? Now I’m relieved tbh. Thanks for sharing your experience by the way, now I know I wasn’t alone!
Ye same thing it s because your ortho doesn’t know how to put glue properly so it feels uncomfortable i recommend you to tell him about it and to tell him to put it only in 4 teeth and get a removable one and wear it every night 👍
Hello, I get my braces off my next appointment. I asked the ortho how long will I wait to get my retainer, he said 2 weeks… should I be worried ? It’s a very long Time
my perm bottom retainer is so sharp because of the glue and its making my tongue bleed because its so sharp
I got mine off two weeks ago and now have permanent retainers on top and bottom for now …
Hi, your work is awsm! Please upload a video how to brush our teeth when we are undergoing permanent retainer
Can someone let me kmow what metal is used for this? Im worried its something toxic.
I just got a small piece of food stuck in my permanent retainer for the 1st in time prolly over a yr

The funny thing is i got my braces off on my thirteenth birthday I thought i was out the waters but i found out i got 2 permanent retainers top front then bottom front added on with a normal retainer😢 i have to wear at night
Hello mam my cement Or composite is not fixed on premolar tooth due to some negligence of my doctor
Does it relapse my teeth or if I fix it after 1 week does my retainer alignment gets loosed because of unfixed cement on. One tooth
Can I go for a permanent retainer for my upper teeth also, please let me know
@2:34, I have that set up right now with the clear retainer on the bottom and the wire on the top, which have 2 “teeth” built into it, which have to be worn 24/7.. I have two spaces where I will get implants on my top row of teeth on each side. I’m going to see if I can get a bonded retainer instead of this clear plastic thing for the bottom, I can’t talk right and it’s very bothersome. I’ve tried wax and filing to smooth the edges and nothing is helping🥹 I can’t freely eat or drink anymore and have to plan that out too. At this point I would rather have my braces back 🥺

Do u as an patient choose which retainer you receive?
Do we feel pain in retainers like braces?
Great question and not at all, since they are not moving your teeth just "retaining" the position of your teeth! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
Retainers hurt worse then braces do in my opinion.
Doctor sorry to interrupt but I have a question is it safe to get braces with 4 extractions. Do you face any problem like sleep apnea? I had two teeth bulging out, I was not able to close my mouth properly.
which wire to use for retainer
I'm a newbie assistant. What was the purple part used to hold the retainer? I was shown to do that with dental floss. This looks so much easier ..
It’s like a premade form to get the placement perfect. With a cast of the teeth you’d measure up and fit the retainer wire and wax it to the model and then use the putty and secure the wire in this. Then all you have to do is place it in the patients mouth, align the putty model and bond the retainer. Some practices do this, it makes the actual patient experience easier, but takes more time and planning 😄
Hi Gto Jay and for the one with floss for sure it's a little bit more complicated... we pre-made this retainer , took an impression prior getting the braces off and that's it! for sure as I said it's easier this way! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷

@@ToothTime Yup definitely wouldn't mind doing it this way. Appreciate the response. Keep up the great vids. Always looking to gain more knowledge on Ortho..
Is this anyway similar to the dental wire splint and also performed by your dentist vs needing to see an Orthodontist?
Is permanent retainer applied on lower tooth? My dentist has recommended to apply on upper tooth...what would be the cost for the permanent retainer for one lower/ upper tooth?
Hey! I’m from the uk and I’m getting permanent retainers on both my upper and lower rows of teeth soon. It’s costing me £315 per row, £630 total which probably equates to around $750 (:
Is it possible to get a bonded retainer put on the top teeth to replace the regular retainers
They said it's not done because it will chip lower teeth.

How long does a permanent retainers have to wear? Plz
Can you wear both permanent and or clear/Hawley retainers at once?
Yes but it would be too much.... just one it's good enough! :) and if you are worried that you are not going to wear your retainer as told... get a permanent retainer better to be on the safe side and avoid your teeth to shift! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
So today my Ortho said that next month she'll remove my braces and put on fixed retainers on bottom teeth but she didn't say anything about upper teeth n according to her fixed retainers are better for me n also I've to wear them for 2 years idk if I can do it I've had overbite n 4 teeth extraction can u tell me if i should get fixed retainers or I can opt for clear retainers waiting for your reply btw love your videos ❤️
Both will do about the same job as keeping your teeth straight, but the permanent one is rated better bc it’s always on so it’s not on you to wear them at night etc. one thing to think about and ultimately what caused me to ask my ortho to remove the permanent one and give me a removable is because flossing those front 4 teeth with the permanent retainer is hard and annoying af. My gum health is great now that I asked them to remove it.
@@Solontire same I'm scared about the cleaning part . Maybe I'll be able to manage my bottom teeth but upper teeth no way ik i can't handle that n that's why I was wondering if i can get fixed retainer on bottom teeth and removable retainer for my upper teeth btw can you tell me about your experience with removable retainer as well n also can you eat everything with fixed retainers?
@@ankitamehra7751 In my experience that’s what I started with - a permanent bottom and a removable top (the one with the wire that goes in front of your front teeth). My experience with the bottom lower permanent one was overall fine in terms of normal lifestyle choices…. You can eat whatever you want there are no restrictions. I guess it could potentially break on something, but I think it’s unlikely. Like I said after a couple months I told my ortho to remove it because it was causing my gum health to decline and they did and gave me a clear bottom retainer. From that point on I just wear them both at night and each time I go to my dentist for my 6 month appointment I have them deep clean them both and they still look good and work well.
I would recommend you talk to your ortho before they put anything in your mouth permanently. Express your concerns to them and ask their opinion about the permanent vs removable and see what they say. At the end of the day it’s your choice how you want to proceed with the retainers so make sure you’re the one making the decision after speaking with them. Either way it’ll turn out just fine for you - just depends on how much work you wanna spend keeping those teeth clean if you do go the permanent route.

Can my teeth fall out after braces? 🥺 because I have really really sensitive teeth and I'm scaring that it'll fall out after getting braces, does this can happen? Love your videos by the way.
It's extremely rare that you might loose your teeth after braces... it has to be a lot of bad news going on in the case but don't worry about it sensitivity has something to do with your enamel and nerve meaning with some varnish at your dentist would probably fix that sensitivity! 😉 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like our video that helps a lot!! 🧡🦷
